ellen kennedy, “i have no ambitions”

ellen kennedy, “i have no ambitions”

i don’t want to hate the president

i don’t want to go to harvard

i don’t want to win the pulitzer prize

i just want to sit in my bathtub

and think about relationships i will never have

with people i will never meet

and then go lay in my bed

with a magnifying glass

and count all the stitches in my sheets

until i fall asleep

and wake up

to repeat again.
